Arcast® Software Version 24.1

Older version

Released on November 12, 2024

New Features and Functionality

  • Dependent profiles:
    • Added functionality to define profiles where calculations depend on the result of other profile calculations.
      • The yearly values of a dependent profile are calculated by multiplying other project profile data or calculated result data by a fixed or yearly rate.
      • Please see §3.5.7 in the reference manual for details.
  • Contextual help system:
    • Added functionality for opening the reference manual in the user’s default browser by pressing shortcut “F1” on the keyboard when the cursor or mouse has focus.
      • This automatically opens the corresponding chapter in the manual that describes the current user interface in focus. For instance, pressing the “F1” key while the focus is in the project editor opens the chapter about the project editor in the reference manual.
  • Added the ability to define the number format per profile in projects. This may be set in the profile editor when editing a profile.
  • Added the ability to create a new owner matrix that contains no companies or licenses.
    • This is available by clicking the Create new empty owner matrix button in the owner matrix editor.
  • Added reporting of custom tax profiles in the portfolio Profiles report.

Updates

  • The tax calculation file has been adjusted for when projects are calculated with Break Even. The tax calculation file will now show the deterministic result after a Break Even calculation.
  • Enabled undo functionality in the project monthly editor as available in the main project editor (yearly).
    • Undo is unavailable when performing larger operations, such as adding a new profile.
    • Undo actions are performed by pressing the Ctrl+Z keys on the keyboard when working in the project editors.

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected conversion of base prices when calculating Break Even on monthly data.
  • Corrected an issue with price set when calculating projects with monthly data and having formulas in custom prices.
  • Corrected an issue when deleting resource profiles that are attached to normal profiles. This action will no longer give an error message.
  • Corrected an issue related to downloading official configuration files from the official configuration folder (network folder) when starting. Now an information message is given at startup if the official configuration files are locked.
  • Corrected an issue with adding resource profiles to profiles after changing the start year in the project editor.
  • Other minor updates and bug fixes.
